Maybe the contracts changed with time? It is quite amazing the range of agreements that various companies implement. Some include along the lines of the "we can walk you out at any time for any reason" clause and "if you want out, you must come to us and we will determine buyer (or lack thereof)". I haven't seen expensive buy-in agreements like TH or McD so I suspect they may be more balanced as nobody would put up seven figures in the face of those clauses.

TH screwed up again. Lots of people were told they won $10,000. A follow-up email said nope, we made a mistake, here's $50. So huge slap in the face for those that won and acknowledgement that tracking all of your movements for years is worth far less than a single image that says you won a prize. I visit TH maybe once a year and that may be once too many. They need to die.
'Bad taste in your mouth': Tim Hortons wrongly tells customers they won $10,000
Some Tim Hortons customers who were told they had won $10,000 from the coffee chain's popular Roll Up To Win contest are now being notified that the prize message was a glitch.
Not as big a mess as the Pepsi hiccup where someone won a harrier jet or when Pepsi had $32,000,000,000 worth of winning lids and they said nope.
The important point was they had a contest, people thought they won and company refused to pay out.
Yeah so the outcome will probably be 2 coffee and donuts, supplied by them
